WEIGHT OF WANT

A burden borne, a heart that aches
The weight of want, a soul that breaks
A yearning deep, a longing true
A desire that gnaws, and forever pursues.

It presses down, like a physical force
A constant reminder, of life's elusive course
A nagging voice that whispers low
"more, more, more," as the heart does know.

In the darkest night, it whispers sweet
promises of fulfilment, a future to greet
But dawn's cold light, reveals the lie
leaving only emptiness, and a hollow sigh.

Yet still we strive, still we pursue
The elusive dream, the fleeting clue
Though the weight of want may press us down
Still, we rise and wear the frown.

For in the end, it's not what we gain
But the love we give, the hearts we sustain
That lifts the weight and sets us free
From the burden of want, and its misery.
